She Says: Giveawy – Thrive Fitness
Recently I received a copy of Thrive Fitness to read, review and give away to you!
Brendan Frazier, author of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide (reviewed by me here), wrote this follow-up book as a guide to developing stronger, more efficient muscles quickly. Specifically, the books is advertised as being about to teach how you can:
- Sculpt, strong, lean functional muscles that move with grace and ease
- Prevent sports injuries and strengthen, bones, tendons and ligaments
- Reduce body fat and inflammation
- Increase sleep quality and energy levels
- Choose top foods to fuel performance before, during and after exercise
- Prepare whole food, plant-based, sport-specific recipes based on Thrive nutrition principles.
I am still reading it, but so far it’s been interesting. I like the idea behind a vegan-based fitness plan. As a vegetarian I am to people asking me, “What do you eat for protein,” and this book continues to look at that question. I actually skipped to chapter 6 “Fuel for Fitness” and read it first! Additionally, it gives specific workout plans and includes lots of pictures detailing how to do specific moves.
If you are interested in winning your very own copy, please comment below. I will choose a winner Thursday at 10:00 PM EST.
Good Luck!
I’ve heard good things about this book, I would love to win!
I think this book sounds very interesting. I’m always interested in learning new ways to improve and push myself. I don’t think that I could go vegan, but I think that incorporating some days as “vegan” days will help me to eat healthier as well as being green (no meat). Thanks!
I would love to read this book!
This book sounds great. I’m really interested in the info on which foods are best for performance/energy levels.
I would love to read this, sounds great. I am training for my first marathon and I follow a vegan diet for the most part so this would be very helpful!
i would love to win this book so i can become more knowledgeable on feeding my body properly for training
I would love to read this — it sounds totally in line with my own philosophy!
I have been dying to read this book!! I find his story so inspiring and would love to read all about it. Great giveaway!!!
Brendan’s book the Thrive diet has helped me a lot – I have run 9 marathons as a vegan! But I still need help refining – I find it impossible to stick to a plan on my own without support & would love this book to add that support
I’m very inspired by the important work Mr Brazier is doing, it’s important to realize that commercializing (without degrading or ’subsidizing’ the essentials of the message just for popular consumption) is an equally substantial move in the right direction towards making this journey to wellbeing a total human experience, a planetary initiative, a global concern. Mr Brazier, by adding the academic dimension, in his collaboration with Universities and commercial sports training institutes and events, is doing just that…making health, true health, clean health, planet/earth based health, an essential part of the human discourse in this very interesting development phase we as a planet are presently undergoing…imagine, transforming sports culture, dietarily, means shifting the substance of competitive ideas, it brings about a new dimension of sports consciousness…it may just create the longed for role modelism pined for in society when we look up to those great figures who conquer all physical thresholds in their disciplines…Mr Brazier is tapping into an essential, and essentially undiscussed, component of our varied human/global development discourse…Thrive Fitness! Thrive Planet!
I’d love to win a copy! I read an interview Jenna had with him over at eatliverun and was intrigued.
This is a great read and has lots of recipes to try. The science behind it is clearly and simply explained. If you don’t win a copy, check your library or buy one. Definitely worth a read! I’d love to get another copy!
I’ve been a fan of Thrive for quite some time and can’t wait to read the Fitness book. It would be great to win a copy!
Gimme it!
Brendan Brazier’s talk at Whole Foods in Pasadena was inspiring. I would love to share his wisdom and recipes with others through this book.
Ive read the Thrive Diet last year after learning about it from a freind. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and was looking ways to help with my recovery. The book changed my life and outlook on my situation.
Brendan knows his stuff about the raw diet. I would assume also about fitness. Im trying to get back in shape and would love a copy of this book.
I’m interested to read this book. I’m an omnivore but very open to incorporating new foods/recipes into our family’s meal rotation.
Have yet to read the book, but I know a group of vegans who live by this book.
I would love to win a copy of this book. I have been focusing more on diet and its relation to health and fitness for several years now and have been making positive changes. I am very interested in reading Thrive Fitness! Awesome blog, I am glad to have stumbled onto it.

Aloha!
I would love this book! I am not vegan but love educating myself on this topic!
I want it! I’m a fan!
I am vegan and a runner, so I would love to have a better guide for how to fuel myself for my next half and my first full marathon. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
This book has been at the top of my Amazon wish list for awhile now!
And as a vegetarian (teetering on vegan) – I often want to punch the people who ask me how I get protein in the face.
My daughter is a vegetarian and is flirting with being vegan. I’m worried about the protein — just can’t help myself!
Another good book about being healthy and losing weight, and the mind-body connection involved is The MindBody FX Lifestyle by Melonie Dodaro. It’ includes information about metabolic imbalances, negative thinking and nutrition. Give it a look.
I’d like to check this out.
I’d love to learn more about what this is about!
I am interested in reading this book!
